Linux kernel configuration – Enable CONFIGURE_LOCALVERSION_AUTO … here is a solution to the problem.
Linux kernel configuration – Enable CONFIGURE_LOCALVERSION_AUTO
I recently cloned the kernel of Linus Torvalds with git. I want to build and install this kernel on my laptop. But because I want to use the Kernel of the Day, I want to enable the CONFIGURE_LOCALVERSION_AUTO
option. But I don’t know how I should enable this option. Where can I find this option?
Solution
Use menuconfig
or xconfig
to use these interfaces to configure the Linux kernel. Direct modification of .config files is discouraged. Execute make menuconfig or make xconfig
in your kernel source tree – use whoever you like. On the kernel configuration menu, you will find the
General Setup
option, in this option, you will find Automatically append version information to the version string
, toggle it to enable/disable.
